This should really be choosing between two albums generated from the same (artist name, title, cover art), rather than completely different configurations.<p>I'm finding it difficult to judge fairly when the art, title and album name are different.

The biggest problem is font colours that are unreadable on the background. Obviously that must be an algorithm-too-far for most of the competitors.

It appears possible to compare two album covers that were created by the same generator (some of them have pretty distinct styles). Not sure if this was considered, or how it factors into scoring.

There's bias introduced based on the visual appearance, some of the fonts used are terrible - and (as mentioned) the contrast.

I saw this "generate album art 'algorithm' " on a 4chan thread three years ago when I used to frequent there. Brings back memories.

as someone who finds it easier to produce sounds than to give them useful and meaningful names after the fact, i love this. if i found a version that can deterministically generate a full ID3 tag of generated info given any mp3 input, i'd use it daily to fight the scourge of files named lkajf_39_q.mp3 in my output bin.
